This paper evaluates the performance of a 1 kW bifacial grid-connected PV system. The array is mounted vertically facing west on a building roof for the purpose of generating power during the late afternoon hours, thus assisting with peak load demand. Simulated solar irradiance received by both sides of the array and power production are compared to measured values. The need for better models to estimate...
Parabolic trough concentrators (PTC) are special kind of heat exchangers formed of parabolic curved mirrors that focuses the direct/beam radiation from the sun onto a heat collection element that runs through the focal line of the concentrator. The PTC has to be oriented in one of the existing tracking modes to track the beam radiation. The focused radiant energy from the sun is absorbed through the...
